From a pure coverage perspective WiMAX is twice as energy-cost-effective and metro Wi-Fi is 50 times more energy-cost-effective than WCDMA. When data traffic is factored into the equation, WiMAX can accommodate 11 times today’s average data consumption and still be more energy-cost-efficient compared to WCDMA or HSDPA.

A recent ABI Research study found that the total energy consumption arising from mobile broadband service delivery is forecast to grow from 42.8 billion kilowatt hours (KWh) in 2005 to 124.4 billion KWh in 2011.

Microsoft is not very good at covering up its own mistakes. Do they really think, they can get away with a note saying This press release has been edited since original publication.? Not in todays world.

More and more companies worldwide are making the strategic business decision to move to Microsofts unified communication and collaboration platform because of its integrated set of capabilities as well as new innovations including support for wikis, Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, blogs, social networking tools, unified messaging and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) integration.

More and more companies worldwide are making the strategic business decision to move to Microsoft’s unified communication and collaboration platform because of its integrated set of capabilities as well as new innovations including support for wikis, Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds, blogs, social networking tools, unified messaging and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) integration. Microsoft represented 52 percent of the integrated collaborative environments market revenue in 2005, and experienced double-digit growth year over year the two years before (indicating 2004 and 2003), according to analyst firm IDC.

Strange, that they pulled that sentence, as there seems to be no report by IDC on „the integrated collaborative environments market”.

Dear Microsoft, YOU CAN NOT CONTROL THE INTERNET. What happens on the Internet/WWW, stays on the Internet/WWW. Period!

On January 30th Microsoft releases to consumers the newest version of its operating system, called Windows Vista. And as the media will be full of „vista is soo cool and innovative and enhancing productivity”, here are some interesting links.

… only a small share of corporate users will be upgrading to Vista this year. Most who do will replace older PCs with new ones preloaded with Vista.

With User Account Control in the new Windows Vista operating system, you can reduce the risk of exposure by limiting administrator-level access to authorized processes.

Although the statementVista, its long-awaited update to the Windows operating system, can’t run the current version of SQL Server is not correct, Microsoft admits, that they have a problem with UAC:

It is true that there is a known issue related to how Vista User Account Control impacts the ability to connect to a default installation of SQL Express SP1

Now, if even Microsoft can’t get their applications to work together properly with UAC, I do not even want to think about other software vendors, given the standards of microsofts public documentation.

Unfortunately, she only posted a word-file (jup, not even in Openoffice.org format!!!) with all the links regarding articles, whitepapers, RedBooks, etc., that we’ve developed and we recommend for production environments.

So I took the liberty and converted them into an html-page. You will find all the links after the jump. All mistakes in this list are of course mine. Check out „Knowledge Enablement from DPI Lab 2007” for the original list.

More development centric (some of this stuff is allready available in 7.0.2 but the sold it as „new in 8” ;) ):

Need to add attributes to the <html> tag? In Domino 8, just use the „$$HTMLTagAttributes” field.

Want to controll the doctype of the html-document and other „pre”-html-tag stuff? Use the „$$HTMLFrontMatter”. At last, we are able to „choose” the quirks-mode of the browser.

$$HTMLOptions controls HTML generation at the form or field level. Valid (name=value pairs) are RowAtATimeTableAlt, ForceSectionExpan, ForceOutlineExpand, DisablePassThruHTML and TextExactSpacing.

DisablePassThruHTML will be a way to prevent end-users from putting HTML tags into fields

There is JSON support in Domino 8 URLs!!! And word of mouth has it, that this also works in Domino 7 (try it out ;). Just add „$OutputFormat=JSON” to „?ReadViewEntries”.
See Codestore: Putting Domino’s JSON to Use for more details.

New C-API to allow stand alone applications to access Notes documents and get back HTML. There are also routines for accessing URLs. This will make Rod Boothby very happy. ;)

$Abstract – This field will hold the first n Bytes of Body field for display in a view

Domino 8 will have an I/O reduction by 50% (no new hardware necessary?)

New ODS version (optional on update) with these benefits:

design document compression will lead up to 50 % smaller templates

On demand Collations -> no additional view index for every sort-option in a view

It’s over. Closing session had Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, as a speaker. A great ending of a week that started with Neil Amstrong. Loved it.

There was not that much coverage of the big news that IBM presented this week. But I think everybody will have to digest what they heard. I will probably blog about it in the next days.

Now, after a short rest, it is of to Broadway to get some presents. I really looking forward to getting home soon. Next year, I will definately not go to Lotusphere alone.

Yes, I am still alive. Due to some incidents, I wasn’t able to blog more or earlier.

I will probably skip the party at Animal Kingdom tonight and will hopefully catch up with my e-mails, RSS-feeds and blogging.

Lotusphere 2007 is great, lots of great, interesting content. I will try to summarize ASAP. Normal services will be restored soon.

Technical difficulties prevented me from blogging earlier. Details on that later. As SWMBO has allready blogged about my leave to Lotusphere 2007, I will spare you the details, why I stayed up very long, to get everything ready before I left.

I decided to fly AUA again. The alternative – with KLM via Amsterdam – would have spared me the transit in Washington, but I am not willing to wait 10 hours at Amsterdam airport to wait for my connection-flight back home.

The flight was, as usual uneventfull. The AKG K 28 NC headphones (with integrated active noise reduction) I had for the flight were greate. The airplane noise was noticeable softened.

Upon arrival in Washington, I was not as lucky as vowe. I had about 1,5 hours to get through Immigration, Customs and Security to catch my connecting flight to Orlando. After immigration, there were about 5 minutes left. So I lost my customs form, got a new one, filled that out, got the immigrations officer to sign it and passed customs (by handing out the form to a bored official.

Could somebody explain to me, why I have to get my bag, drag ist along for about 100 meters and drop it of in a heap of other luggage in front of an x-ray machine? And why do I have to be scanned again, before I get to my connection flight? I got checked in Vienna and had no chance to leave the restricted area.

And while we are at it – why are there no restrooms between the airplane and immigrations? Next time, I will piss in the corner of the hall in front of the imigration counters if they need over an hour to process a few passengers. But I guess that the arrival of three european airplanes took them by surprise.

After a short sprint (thanks to some renovation, you do not need a bus shuttle to get from international arrivals to the domestic flights any more) I barely cought my flight, meeting vowe and the guys from Pentos. The flight itself was uneventfull and I arrived in Orlando at about eight in the evening. A good hour later, a Mears shuttle, conveniently disguised as a Disney’s Magical Express bus, dropped off ute, vowe, Wolfgang Sommergut and me at the Dolphin.

The plan was to go to the ESPN Sports Bar for a night cap with vowe, Turtle, Duffbert and the others, but I got highjacked by a few fellow Austrians. A few beers later, I went back to the Dolfin and hit the sack.

Das ganze in Englisch: Three swiss witch-bitches, which wished to be switched swiss witch-bitches, wish to watch three swiss Swatch watch switches. Which swiss witch-bitch which wishes to be a switched swiss witch-bitch, wishes to watch which swiss Swatch watch switch?

Now is that really true? Is it such a bad thing that CSS, Flash and other features are not supported any more?

Who is the recipient for all these nicely formatted e-mails? End-users, the guys and dolls at home, looking at e-mails containing news-summaries and/or some type of advertising.

At companies, responsible Admins allready removed Flash and company from e-mails. And most of the business mail I see is either text only or an empty e-mail with an attachment.

So, who would really be affected by Microsofts change? The end-users.

But wait, what are they using? Mostly Outlook Express, as that came at „no” additional cost with their windows licence. If you care to take a look at Windows Vista, there is no more Outlook Express only „Windows Mail” (Apple users might find that name slightly familiar). And Microsoft said nothing regarding Windows Mail and HTML-rendering. As I had not the time yet to check out Vista in depth, I would hazard a guess that HTML-rendering in Windows Mail will still use IE 7’s rendering engine.

So that leaves us with the business users as victims of this change. I would assume, that adoption of Outlook 2007 will proceed at a very slow level. Why? Because Microsoft changed the licensing of Outlook and Exchange. If you are not an owner of an Exchange Server 2003 WITH Software Assurance, you are not eligible to use Outlook 2007 when you upgrade to Exchange Server 2007.
